Carlos Baldomir broke prime Zab Judah. Carlos Baldomir, people. Whatever you think about Tim Bradley, he is far beyond Carlos Baldomir. Depends on what Judah shows up, my ass.
Six rounds of pressure and Judah would be done. He'd spend the rest of the fight getting his ass whooped.
Wow a lot of people forgot how good prime Zab was. He would drop Bradley like Holt did but the difference is Zab was a MUCH better finisher than Holt and he wouldn't let Bradley off the hook. Prime Zab is a class above anybody Bradley has been in the ring with.
Bradley is a far better fighter than Judah. I cannot believe that anyone would see Judah beating him. After Bradley's done with Pacman, I expect a lot of bandwagoners.
Naw. Judah is a good fighter, won multiple world titles, has been a Top JWW and WW for awhile......but he always f**ked up his biggest fights (Tszyu, Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, Khan). He would make it interesting for the first 3-4 rounds with his speed, may even drop Bradley catching him with a quick left hand or something. But Bradley is very well at breaking his opponents down, making an adjustment here and there, and he can box and has decent speed as well. Judah would fold by mid fight, and Bradley would win a UD.That is the way I see the fight going. Bradley has the heart, will power, toughness and stamina that Judah lacks.
Close fight but Judah can't handle the close range pressure Bradley puts on him.
I lean towards Judah, but Bradley is mentally tougher than Judah, so its to close to call. I can see Judah dropping and hurting Bradley, then Bradley coming back and phuking him up, kinda like the Kostya Tszyu fight.

I dont think too highly of bradley, but i believe he takes this one.
edit: oh wait, i missed the part where you said prime judah. im going with judah...
tough fight because you never know about Zab but I think alot of Zab's problems are highly overstated. The fact is that most of his losses, meltdowns, etc.... came to prime studs at WW where most of them had a huge size advantage.
It had nothing to do with him being a 4 round fighter. It just looked that way because after 4 rounds there physical advantages would take over. At 140 and against a guy who has no physical advantages,
I would pick Zab to stop Bradley, espically with him being a Southpaw and Bradley's wide looping punches. Zab shoots him straight down the pipe and stops him just like I think Pac will do.
With all that being said, Bradley is mentally tough & Zab is mentally weak with bad focus. I think in his prime against a guy his size though he wont get into too much trouble with that and will have that beast like attitude to pull it out
